Meet Rachel Lavin

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Rachel Lavin. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Rachel , so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

I always knew that helping people was my purpose. It brings me joy,
I haven’t always felt this way about my own life. I always knew that happiness was out there and I definitely experienced glimmers of it but it never felt consistent, thats what I wanted to be happy every day! I worked hard to heal from my past. I learned to be kind to myself and to treat myself with love, dignity and respect. I harnessed those skills daily until they were who I was not what I longed for. I stopped chasing what wasn’t meant for me and embraced the person I was always meant to be. Does that mean that I never have hard moments? Of course I do I have a wonderful partner who supports me and the wellness skills to take a deep breath and learn from what I am going through. I am grateful everyday and choose to be happy everyday. There is a never ending supply of love and empathy in the world and I am part of that.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I have spent 25 amazing years in the Health and Wellness industry and making the transition to Home Organization has been seamless!

When people don’t feel peaceful or relaxed in their own homes it makes it near impossible to be happy in other areas of your life. You should never dread going home yet many people do. That’s where I come in to help you declutter, purge and let go of some items that may be holding you back. I also believe that some items are there to spark happy memories even if you don’t use it everyday knowing it’s there tucked safely in a closet is also apart of my philosophy. Not everything has to go! When I step foot into your home, there is no judgement all I want to do is show you that there is a way to have an organized home that you live in not a museum where you can’t touch anything! It is important that you know where everything is and it works for your lifestyle.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Learning how to pause and breathe before reacting has changed my life. How I deal with people and situations is sooooo much more productive and pleasant when you don’t react. You can deal with whatever is happening and that is where is choose to stay. In the calm peaceful place.

If you are beginning your road to healing and happiness. EXPECT BUMPS! You have been responding to circumstances with anger and fear and those are hard things to change but you can. At first just having awareness is a great way to start your metamorphosis. Then maybe the next time you won’t yell and scream, then the next time you deal with it calmly and then the next time you may even be able to be the voice of reason. It takes time and the Universe will test you constantly to make sure you really want to change, trust me it’s worth it!

Tell us what your ideal client would be like?

I know I mentioned it before but it’s true, I love helping people! I have learned that in my career you can only help people who want to be helped. If you’re not ready then I will be here when you are. I found that to be true as a Personal Trainer and now as a Home Organizer. People have to trust me in order to let me into their homes. They are usually overwhelmed and feel ashamed at the amount of clutter and disarray. I do my best to reassure them and I tell them “I”m here to help” & “No Judgement” I absolutely mean those two statements with all of my heart and soul. I want to help you get out from under the clutter and create a system that works for your lifestyle and that of your family’s.
